CLAWR Policies and Procedures

Part II

Policies

GENERAL Under the 1986 Federal / Provincial agreement governing access for Oil and Gas development on the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range (CLAWR), CLAWR Range Control Safety and Coordination Team has been assigned the responsibility for coordination and granting of access to all persons involved in oil and gas operations and development activities on the CLAWR. All persons requiring access to the CLAWR to conduct work related to oil and gas development and associated support activities on CLAWR must complete General Access orientation training, be fully conversant with and accept full and complete responsibility for compliance with these directives. Due to the potential risk involved with operating on an active Air to Ground weapons range, additional “Off-Road” training may also be required for those individuals intending to travel off of any all season prepared surfaces within the CLAWR Range Control staff are designated by the Wing Commander, 4 Wing Cold Lake as Security Guards as defined in Defence Controlled Access Area Regulations (DCAAR) and empowered under the National Defence Act (NDA). These policies contain provisions that authorize them to suspend or deny CLAWR access to persons failing or refusing to follow instructions. Additionally, Range Control may suspend or deny access for any violation of these orders, 4 Wing Flying and Range Orders (WFRO’s) or Department of National Defence (DND) Policies and Regulations related to access to the CLAWR.

In the case of any violation of these regulations the 4 Wing Commander may, upon review of the circumstances impose a more definitive CLAWR suspension period as authorized by the NDA.

TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE (“TK”) AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL ACCESS

1. “TK” INTRODUCTION a. A Traditional Knowledge (TK) Assessment is a practice that has been matured to

address Alberta Environmental Regulator (AER) recommendations for industry to consult with First Nations that may have an interest in the proposed development of the land.

b. Furthermore First Nation consultation is essential on lands still in use for traditional pursuits such as hunting and fishing, etc., prior to the commencement of any projects therein.

c. As such, this process has been written as guidance for those parties engaged in the TK process, specifically for associated field surveys within the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range (CLAWR).

NOTES:

1. This document outlines the procedure and methodology at time of writing.

2. The requirement and associated scope of work for TK Assessments within the CLAWR will be determined by First Nation peoples in concert with DND and will only be amended with concurrence of both stakeholders.

2. TK ASSESSMENTS a. The initiation of a TK Assessment comes to appropriate First Nations peoples at the

request of an industry proponent. The main components of these studies are the field survey and subsequent reporting to both the industry proponent and DND.

b. The TK Assessment is used as a tool in the formal consultation and accommodation process as outlined in the Province of Alberta’s Aboriginal Consultation Guidelines; to be carried out directly between applicable First Nations communities and the industry proponent. As such, First Nations peoples have requested that all industry proponents complete a TK Assessment when a proposed development is situated within area that are of traditional interest. For TK activities within the CLAWR, the procedures outlined below will satisfy requirements.

3. APPROACH

a. TK studies consider two broad types of traditional knowledge information, Traditional Land Use (TLU) and Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK), collectively known as TK. TLU focuses on information about locations of cultural significance and patterns of use within the Project assessment area (e.g, settlement locations/gathering camps, resource gathering sites, trails, ceremonial areas, burials). TEK focuses on First Nation’s understanding of and relationship to ‘the land’.

i. Meaningful consideration of First Nation’s spiritual beliefs, and the TK information collected, can assist in identifying culturally appropriate and effective strategies to mitigate impacts to traditional lands, uses, and aboriginal rights.

4. OBJECTIVES / SCOPE OF WORK

a. The following objectives/scope of work will be included in every TK Assessment.

i. Identify culturally sensitive areas such as ancestral sites (e.g. cabins, trails, graves) or other areas of cultural (e.g. spiritual sites, medicinal plant gathering areas) and ecological significance (e.g. wildlife habitat, culturally significant plants) to First Nations peoples that lie within the proposed development area;

ii. Record TK information pertinent to the proposed Project as presented by the First Nations TK Specialists / Elders.; and,

iii. Recommend culturally appropriate mitigation for any industrial, development-related First Nations concerns identified during the TK Assessment.

5. PERSONNEL

a. The field portion of the TK Assessment is undertaken by First Nations TK team members:

i. First Nations TK Specialist:

A First Nations TK Specialist will be a specially trained representative of the band requesting access to conduct this specialized activity. The TK Specialist has worked with Elders on TK Assessments and they have been mentored. They have also been trained in the methods of TK project logistics, safety management, TK

information collection and reporting. The TK Specialist is responsible for information collection, recording and reporting; while performing these tasks they are working on behalf of the industry proponent. When First Nation Elders are present, the role of the TK Specialist includes ensuring the physical and emotional comfort of the Elder, providing translators where necessary and ensuring that cultural protocols are followed.

ii. First Nations Elder:

A First Nations Elder is a historical, cultural representative of the Nation, who may participate in the evaluation as part of the TK Assessment team.

6. FIELD SURVEY

a. Timing of the field survey is negotiated between First Nations and the industry proponent. The field survey may be conducted at any time of the year. The field survey will be completed pre-construction/exploration, with supplemental surveys during construction/exploration activities or post construction being facilitated should culturally significant items be discovered or of concern. Access for the field survey is coordinated and subsequently approved through CLAWR Range Control (CRC) in consultation with DND.

b. Once an industry proponent has requested the initiation of a TK Assessment to First Nations, the industry proponent, will be asked to make a request to CRC for access to CLAWR for the TK field survey and participants. Access requests should be submitted at least one business week prior to the commencement of the field program and include:

i. field personnel names and job description/title,

ii. field assessment dates for access to CLAWR,

iii. project name and project proponent,

iv. project location (expressed in legal land description to the LSD),

v. a map of the project,

vi. acknowledgement that designated survey personnel will complete the field survey within the project footprint, with a buffer of 100 metres on either side of the footprint;

vii. that all CLAWR Range Policies and Procedures will be maintained; and,

viii. a First Nations resultant TK report will be shared in confidence directly with DND within 30 days of the completion of the requested survey.

c. Photos to be taken during the field survey would include general environment observations including overstory, understory, drainages, existing developments and on rare instances culturally significant areas identified by First Nations that would include but not limited to historic cabins or homesteads of past aboriginal generations that were occupied prior to 1952 and associated structures (traps and snares). Photos taken will be for First Nations internal use only. Distribution outside of First Nations will require that the photos are vetted by DND before release. The most up-to-date DND approval process for photos can be found at www.rangesafety.ca

d. Once access to CLAWR has been granted and the field team is on the CLAWR conducting the TK field survey, the survey may utilize a truck, Argo-assisted or helicopter-assisted pedestrian to complete the survey of the project area. The field survey is comprised of recorded TK observations. No samples are taken and no ground disturbance takes place during a TK field survey.

7. REPORTING

a. Reporting will be comprised of a compilation of all TK information collected during the field survey, into a written report format for historical preservation and submission to the industry proponent.

b. Dependent on First Nation’s direction the report can take the format of a full written report, letter report, or compiled field data sheets (to be referred to hereafter as the TK report).

c. The resultant TK report is intended as a discussion paper only, to be utilized as a tool in the formal consultation and accommodation process to be carried out by the industry proponent with First Nations. The report and any TK information collected during the assessment remain the intellectual property of First Nations and are to be used by industry proponents to assist in planning the currently proposed Project only; neither is to be disseminated or used for any other purpose.

d. A copy of all resultant TK reports will be shared by First Nations in confidence with DND.

8. ARCHAEOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES

a. Alberta Culture and Tourism supports the development and sustainability of Alberta's cultural industries, tourism, the arts, recreation and sport, heritage and nonprofit / voluntary sector.

b. Occasionally, this provincial government department is solicited to conduct an Historical Resources Impact Assessment

c. Upon receipt of a request for this assessment, the Minister may issue an Evacuation Permit for the site in accordance with the Alberta Historical Resources Act (June 2013).

d. The act further states that nothing in the act or issuance of the evacuation permit will guarantee access to the site unless permission is received from the owner, person in possession or occupation of the land.

9. ARCHAEOLOGICAL ACCESS – CLAWR

a. As all archaeological access requests are supported by government department oversight, requests for archeological evacuation within the CLAWR will be initiated as outlined in Section 3 (Government Agency Access) of this manual.

10. ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVACUATION - CAVEATS

a. Due to the unique environment within the CLAWR, no excavation of a depth greater than 30cms will be carried out within the CLAWR without prior coordination with DND, 4 Wing Cold Lake and preceded with ground penetrating radar results indicating the area as being free from ordnance / obstructions.

e. CLAWR Range Control Website www.rangesafety.ca.

2. GENERAL

a. This information is required by Incident Commanders (IC) to assist them in their respective responses to Level 2 or higher emergencies (described below) when multiple agencies are required to assist in the restoration of normal operations, or who have mutual interests requiring a coordination of action.

b. All “Prime” stakeholders authorized to conduct operations within the CLAWR are to maintain a copy of site specific ERP’s within the CLAWR, a copy of which will be supplied to CRC for placement within the CLAWR ECC.

c. The Area Command Coordinator (ACC) mentioned in this section will be activated at Level 2 or higher. Ideally located within CLAWR ECC, this position will be staffed by a senior leader within CRC. The primary responsibility of the ACC is to represent DND’s overall responsibilities for coordination of emerging DND, Government and Industrial emergency scenarios within the confines of the defence controlled area.

d. The ACC does not direct companies in their management of internal responses to emergencies within the CLAWR, rather he / she is responsible for:

i. The coordination of all activities impacted affected / involved agencies at the IC level;

ii. The management of communications / updates between all involved agencies as required to ensure that the Wing Commander as well as all participating agencies and companies are appraised of ongoing developments regarding the emergency; and,

iii. The integration of activities (military, provincial or industry) when and or if required.

d. However, in the case of a Mass Evacuation (directed by DND or Provincial authorities), the ACC will assume responsibility for the direction and coordination of evacuation and associated recovery operations on behalf of the Wing Commander.

e. Company IC’s and / or ICC’s will establish and maintain communications with the ACC through the CLAWR ECC as soon as possible after the declaration of a level 2 or higher emergency.

3. DEFINITIONS

a. “AEMA” – Alberta Emergency Management Agency;

b. “AER” – Alberta Energy Regulator;

c. “Corporate Level ERP” – Those plans prepared by a licensee under the Oil and Gas Conservation Act, Pipeline Act, or any other regulation, statute, or condition imposed by the regulator or based on location by the Department of National Defence as an operational condition. For the CLAWR, site specific ERP’s are to contain preplanned procedures that will allow for effective response to an emergency;

d. “DND” – Department of National Defence;

e. “Emergency” – A present or imminent event outside the scope of normal operations that requires prompt coordination of resources to protect the health , safety and welfare of people and to limit damage to property and the environment;

f. “Incident” – An unexpected Occurrence or event that requires action by emergency personnel to prevent or minimize the impacts on personnel, property and the environment; and,

g. “Local Authority” – Wing Commander, 4 Wing Cold Lake. In the context of the ID349 designation, Provincial responsibilities rest with the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

4. INCIDENT CLASSIFICATIONS

a. All incidents are classified as an ALERT or as Level -1, -2, or -3 emergencies. Incidents that can be handled onsite through normal operating procedures are deemed very low risk and as such are typically defined as an “ALERT”. Refer to Incident Assessment Matrix (Appendix 1 and Table 1).

b. LEVEL - 1 There is no potential for danger outside the licensee’s property. There is no threat of the incident affecting DND or other stakeholder interests, property or personnel and minimal environmental impact. The situation can be handled entirely be licensee personnel. There’s no criminal activity or breach of CLAWR Policies suspected. There will be immediate control of the hazard. There is little or no local media interest.

c. LEVEL - 2 There is no immediate for danger outside the licensee’s property or right

of way, but a potential exists for the emergency to extend beyond the interests of the licensee. Outside agencies must be notified. Imminent control of the hazard is probable, but there is a moderate threat to other stakeholder interests and/or the environment. There may be local and/or regional media interest in the event.

d. LEVEL – 3 The safety of personnel outside of the licensee’s property is in jeopardy

from a major uncontrolled hazard. There are likely significant and ongoing environmental impacts. Immediate multi agency / government involvement is required. Event has transcended defined jurisdictional boundaries.

5. COMMAND AND CONTROL

a. All “Emergencies” are reportable to CLAWR Emergency Call Centre (ECC).

b. This aside, the intent of this document is to understand DND and industry expectations regarding emergency responses where military and industry interests have been or may be impacted through a single event.

c. The tenants of this process are understood to be:

i. Securing of personnel (“Life & Limb”);

ii. Securing of site from hazardous materials; and,

only leave them if another operator with a vehicle capable of assuming escort duties accepts the responsibility and this transfer of responsibility is communicated and approved by “Sentry” before departure of the original escort.

c. Due to the increased potential of an occurrence taking place in areas where these

vehicles are travelling, all “In Tow” vehicles must be equipped with a whip or cab mounted red / high visibility flag as defined in para 2d of this section.

d. Operators of “in tow” vehicles must have completed “Off-Road” training and

remain directly behind their escort or group ahead (in cases where more than one vehicle is being escorted at the same time).

6. OFF ROAD TRAVEL PLANS

a. Clearance to leave any all-season road to any off-road location must be requested from and approved by “Sentry” before commencing travel.

b. The information required during the request includes an identifiable departure point,

the full LSD (Legal Sub-Division) for the intended destination and the route that will be travelled.

c. Any changes or amendments in travel plans must also be requested and approved by

“Sentry” before actioned.

d. Arrival at the approved location must be also be transmitted to “Sentry” immediately upon arrival.

e. Return travels to “high grade” road surfaces will follow the same protocol and be

authorized by “Sentry” before departure from the LSD / worksite. f. Movement between off-road locations within the CLAWR, require the same

coordination and approval from “Sentry” before relocation. g. The speed limit for seasonal off-road travel by any vehicle is a maximum 50 km/h

unless otherwise posted.

h. Notwithstanding the guidance provided in Section 9 (“Vehicle Infractions”), personnel travelling off-road without a valid clearance issued by CLAWR ECC (“Sentry”) will, in addition to a mandatory 24hr CLAWR suspension, be prohibited from operating a motor vehicle anywhere on the CLAWR (including off-road) for 7 days from the time CLAWR access is reinstated.

7. OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE (OHV’S) - OPERATION a. As outlined in the 1985 Memorandum of Agreement,(MOU), Government Property

Traffic Regulations will apply to all CLAWR motor vehicles. For additional safety reasons, OHV operations are not permitted on any all-season or “opened” seasonal roads except to transition from one work area or acceptable travel area (i.e. ditch) to another in the most expeditious safe manner possible and only where no other routes safely exist.

b. OHV’s shall be operated in a manner consistent with terrain conditions and in a

manner that does not distract other vehicle operators. All OHV operators and their passengers shall wear a DOT approved head protection.

c. Personal OHV’s are not permitted on the CLAWR.

NOTES:

1. These guidelines may be relaxed with CRC approval for OHV’s engaged in support of emergency response operations.

2. Radio equipped OHV’s must be functionally confirmed serviceable with “Sentry” before travelling off road. 8. ROAD MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT a. Operators of all motor vehicles operating on CLAWR roadways (“high-grade” or

seasonal) have an expectation that they share these resources with other qualified, licensed operators. As such, all operators of motor vehicles including road maintenance equipment travelling on high-grade or seasonal driving surfaces within the CLAWR shall be in possession of a current, valid driver’s license recognized by the Province of Alberta.

9. OFF ROAD WAIVERS a. Off road waivers provide specific groups with internal controlling measures for off

road work and eliminates much of the radio communication that would otherwise be required by field workers.

b. Off road waivers are coordinated with the Range Control Safety and Coordination

Centre in Cold Lake and must be received a minimum of 1 week before the intended work period to include the following:

i. Start and end dates of the program;

ii. A .pdf map depicting the work area with specific perimeter points depicted using NAD83 based Latitudes & Longitudes;

iii. A complete list of all companies covered under this waiver; and, iv. The identity of the controlling point individual and their intended location with

complete contact information;

c. Off road waivers will not be entertained for areas located inside a military target exclusion zones (target circle).

d. A formal off-road Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at Annex C will be

completed and signed by the coordinator seeking the waiver and Range Control Safety Advisor before the commencement of the work.

10. WORK ALONE PROTOCOL a. In accordance with Occupational Health & Safety direction, all companies are

required to have an action plan to assist those workers working alone in hostile environments. Range Control will implement a 2 hour check in protocol monitored by ECC staff, initiated when workers requesting an off road clearance indicates to “Sentry” that they are in fact “working alone”.

b. This check in time is refreshed each time the client makes contact with “Sentry” and will remain monitored until the worker is back on “high grade” surface or is joined by another worker, at which time monitoring of the “work alone” individual will cease.

c. Should a worker fail to make contact with ECC within 2 hours of their last contact,

the ECC will first attempt to make contact by all means available. If ECC fails to locate the person, they will immediately notify the individual’s safety contact and ask them to locate their employee and report their findings back to the ECC within 30 minutes.

d. Should the safety rep not be able to locate the subject or fail to report back to ECC

within the 30 minutes a “missing person” occurrence report will be generated, and Range Patrol Officers will coordinate action between all parties to locate parties involved.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT DISCOVERY 1. 4 WING FLYING AND RANGE ORDERS (WFRO’S) a. The CLAWR has been in use since 1954. Since that time a great quantity of air

weapons have been expended on the range. With a few exceptions, only inert or practice ordnance have been used. Although practice and inert rockets, bombs, missiles and bullets do not contain high explosive charges, it is probable that they contain other hazards.

NOTES: 1. There are two high explosive (500 lb) bombs which were jettisoned somewhere in Range 7, Townships 68 and 69 that are as yet unaccounted for. 2. This area is astride the border between Caribou Lake and Fisher Creek development regions. 2. DISCOVERY OF ORDNANCE / UNUSUAL OBJECTS a. When ordnance of any type, or other man-made objects that cannot be identified are

encountered on the CLAWR, they are to be marked and strictly avoided. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THESE OBJECTS OR DISTURB THE SURROUNDING AREA!

b. Pictures of the found object may be relayed to CLAWR Range Control ONLY if they

can be obtained before leaving the area; c. The following as a minimum shall be followed should an unusual object (suspected as

related to the Military) be discovered:

i. Do not approach any closer; ii. Mark the area from which you found the suspected UXO with survey tape;

iii. Note the distance and bearing to the object from the marking. GPS coordinates are the preferred method of plotting in the suspected UXO. Leave the area, posting warnings at 1000m from the suspected UXO along the path you approached from, and any other paths; and,

NOTE 1: Many objects have been marked with stakes, and surrounded by flagging tape. This is NOT safe, not required, and not encouraged!

d. Leave the area. Advise CLAWR Range Control - Emergency Call Centre (780-573-

7321) immediately with as a minimum, the following information.

i. Location:

a) GPS coordinates; or b) LSD; or c) Range and bearing; and d) Your actions;

ii. Description of the object (including):

a) Shape; b) Estimated size; c) Colour; and d) Markings or lettering if visible;

iii. What survey marking you used to identify the point of observation;

iv. Where the object is in relation to your marks;

v. Draw a sketch;

vi. Include GPS positions if available;

vii. Include your name, company and contact information;

viii. Date and time found; and

ix. Impact on operations (e.g. immediately beside a well head?).

3. “MAKE SAFE” PROCESS a. CLAWR Range Control will, immediately on discovery of an object, ensure that:

i. The target has been marked and documented correctly;

ii. Dispatch an RPO to secure photographs for relaying to 4 Wing EOD (if not already provided);

iii. Ensure that a danger area with a radius of not less than 1,000 metres is

immediately established around the object; and

iv. Inform 4 Wing Operations immediately of the findings, to include danger posed, proximity to manned operations, and risk analysis.

NOTE: The danger area once established shall not be entered until 4 Wing EOD has declared the found object safe.

FIREARMS / WEAPONS RESTRICTIONS 1. REGULATIONS a. Firearms / Ammunition are not permitted within the boundaries of the CLAWR

except for RCMP, Military Police, Range Patrol Officers and Alberta Department of Justice (Fish and Wildlife division) personnel who are authorized to carry firearms / ammunition on the CLAWR in the course of their regular duties.

b. Additionally, those persons authorized to conduct traditional pursuits in accordance

with the Cold Lake First Nations Special Access Agreement by the Wing Commander 4 Wing are also authorized to have firearms.

c. Range Patrol Officers are authorized to carry firearms / ammunition in their patrol

vehicles on the CLAWR whilst on duty. These firearms (12 Gauge shotguns only) have been approved by the 4 Wing Commander for the purposes of wildlife diversion and the humane disposition of injured wildlife as authorized by Alberta Department of Justice (Fish and Wildlife Div) authorities through the use of a combination of non-lethal and / or lethal ammunition. These firearms shall be stored in accordance with existing Canadian firearms legislation and are to be used only by qualified and licenced RPOs.

2. COLD LAKE FIRST NATIONS EXEMPTIONS a. Cold Lake First Nations (CLFN) has been granted access to the CLAWR under an

agreement with 4 Wing for traditional pursuits (hunting, trapping, fishing, berry picking, etc). Under this agreement, CLFN has been authorized the use of firearms on the CLAWR under very strict and controlled guidelines. Prior to entrance onto the CLAWR, all CLFN members granted permission to hunt will ensure that firearms are properly and legally encased and unloaded for travel and remain encased and unloaded until they arrive at an approved area to hunt. CLFN members employed by Oil and Gas on the CLAWR are not permitted to combine their employment access with traditional pursuit activities and under no circumstances will be permitted to transport or store a firearm on the CLAWR while working as an employee or contractor on the CLAWR.

3. ALBERTA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (FISH AND WILDLIFE DIV) a. DoJ (F&W) Officers may, from time to time, be called upon to dispose of a nuisance

animal at the request of Range Control. At no time will any member of the Alberta Department of Justice (Fish and Wildlife Div) discharge a firearm within the boundaries of the CLAWR without first obtaining approval from an RPO except in situations where immediate danger to personnel exists. In all

cases where a firearm is used for this purpose, the incident will be documented and a report forwarded to Range Control, DoJ, and the 4 Wing Operations Officer.

4. DCAAR – FIREARM SEARCH AUTHORITY a. To satisfy safety mandates in DCAAR, Range Patrol Officers may search persons,

property or vehicles to verify compliance with the firearms guidelines. 5. WEAPONS DEFINITION a. For the purposes of this policy the following items are considered “weapons” and as

such are prohibited on the CLAWR:

i. Any weapon that can launch or discharge a projectile such as air guns, paint-ball guns, pipe guns or manufactured devices, i.e. potato guns, etc;

ii. Cross bows, archery bows etc;

iii. Switchblade knives or double edged knives (daggers), mace, pepper spray,

clubs, pipes, brass knuckles, any liquid, powder or other substance that is intentionally used to injure, immobilize or otherwise incapacitate a person;

iv. “Bear Bangers”; and,

v. Any weapon, other than a firearm, that is described as a prohibited or restricted

weapon in the Criminal Code of Canada.

NOTE: A “Switchblade” means a knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of the knife.

6. POSSESSION OF WEAPONS a. Any person found in possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon on the CLAWR

without DND permission will be immediately removed from the CLAWR and their access privileges immediately suspended. An Occurrence Report will be generated and forwarded to DND recommending permanent dismissal.

NOTE: The use of Bear Spray on the CLAWR is approved as an animal deterrent only. Use of this product (accidental or intentional) against a human being or animal for which the product was not designed, shall be construed as using a prohibited weapon and will be administered as per para 6 above.

WILDLIFE DIRECTIVES

1. OBJECTIVE a. As the CLAWR is a wildlife refuge, frequent sightings of non-domesticated animals

are received by CRC on a daily basis.

b. Protecting and preserving wildlife is the responsibility of every person employed on the CLAWR. It is of paramount importance that industrial activities are conducted in a manner that ensures the safety of all personnel and wildlife.

c. Problematic interactions are admittedly rare but need to be conducted in a

professional, coordinated, and humane manner. Range Control requires that all incidents involving wildlife follow a standard protocol to ensure that all 4 Wing and Provincial Government rules / guidelines are adhered to.

2. WILDLIFE INCIDENT REPORTING – PROTOCOL a. The protocol to follow for all wildlife incidents is as follows:

i. Do not approach a wounded, threatening or injured animal; ii. Contact the ECC (780-815-6642 / 780-573-7321) and request assistance from

RPO / BAS. They will notify Solicitor General Branch (Fish & Wildlife); iii. Contact your company safety personnel immediately and explain the situation to

them;

b. Range Control have at their disposal, Bear Aversion specialists (BAS), and armed Range Patrol Officers (RPO) both of which follow the guidance provided in Damage Control Licences (DCL) issued by Alberta Department of Justice (Fish and Wildlife Officers).

c. Range Control staff will when applicable utilize non-lethal means (bear dogs, die

marker packs, and rubber projectiles) to sensitize problematic animals in areas of camps, industrial activities and/or work areas . Before euthanizing a reoccurring problematic animal, RPO’s will confer with Alberta Department of Justice (Fish and Wildlife Div) personnel to determine if other means should be attempted.

NOTE:

The only exception to the foregoing is in cases where immediate danger to or safety of personnel is a factor. In that case the on-scene RPO or Fish and Wildlife Officer may take the appropriate steps and provide a full report to the Supervisor Range Control post incident.

3. FEEDING AND HARASSMENT OF WILDLIFE a. The Cold Lake Air Weapons Range (ID349) is classified as a “Restricted Area”

under the Province of Alberta Hunting Regulations. As such hunting or fishing is not permitted with the exception of hunting by designated First Nations members and authorized by 4 Wing under the First Nations Special Access Agreements, and in exceptional cases to commercial fishermen as coordinated by DND..

b. Feeding / harassment of, or interference with wildlife on the Cold Lake Air Weapons

Range is prohibited. c. This Policy is enforced by Range Control and Alberta Department of Justice (Fish

and Wildlife) Officers. All wildlife incidents are to be reported to the ECC at (780) 815-6642 who will assign it to an on duty RPO for investigation and forwarding as deemed appropriate.

d. The penalty for feeding or harassing wildlife on the CLAWR is a loss of access

privileges for 1 year and possible further action by ASRD, 4 Wing Military Police and / or RCMP who will be informed of all infractions.

RADIO COMMUNICATION PROCESS

1. GENERAL OVERVIEW a. The procedures outlined in this section have been created to reduce the risk of

concurrent operations on the Air Weapons Range. Although comprehensive, no directive could ever address every situation that may be encountered while travelling off road on the CLAWR. The following guidance is meant to serve as a framework to support effective communication and situational awareness throughout our collective operations.

2. CLAWR COMMUNICATIONS – GENERAL a. To ensure adequate radio coverage over the majority of the CLAWR and to offer a

degree of system redundancy, certain channels are processed by the Heart Lake Tower repeater and others by the PLER Tower repeater. There are three main operating frequencies on the CLAWR. Channels 3 & 5 are broadcast from the Heart Lake Tower. Channel 9 (Emergency Channel) is also repeated from the same location. Channel 1 is broadcast from the PLER Tower. Both repeater facilities operate independently.

b. The primary radio communications control facility on the CLAWR is the ECC

(“Sentry”) with all access gates having backup capabilities. c. In addition to these frequencies, the RPO cadre possesses an independent frequency

for their use and that of DND if required. The sole authority for programming the RPO frequency into any radio is Group Lead Range Control.

3. OFF ROAD TRAVEL – RADIO ETIQUETTE a. As radio communication is rather foreign to many, it is best to take a brief moment to

contemplate what you want to communicate, then:

i. Depress the transmit button and wait for one second before talking thereby activating the repeater site (not waiting will result in communication being “clipped” / incomplete);

ii. Call the site you wish to contact and identify yourself (e.g. “Sentry, (this is)

Dodger 22,”). Wait for them to respond before making your request;

b. Your request should be brief and to the point. If you want approval to travel off-road you must state where you are, where you want to go and what route you intend to take. Full Legal Sub-Division (LSD) descriptions are required. This is critical as

ECC must check each request against current Range restrictions and the target closure list prior to approving your request. (e.g. “Sentry, Dodger 22 requests clearance to leave the main road at Km 23 and go to 8 of 26 of 69 of 8 via the Caribou road”).

c. ECC will respond, either approving or denying your request. It is mandatory that you

read back that response – (e.g. “Sentry, Dodger 22, copy, approved” or “Sentry, Dodger 22, copy denied”).

NOTES:

1. There is zero tolerance for personnel leaving the high-grade roads or moving from one off-road

location to another without first receiving the proper approval. All vehicles being escorted will be reported as being “in tow”;

2. Movement between off road sites must be approved by ECC; 3. Once you have arrived at your cleared destination, you must immediately advise “Sentry” that you

have arrived; 4. Once you have returned to the main road you must advise ECC that you are “back on the high-

grade”; 5. Use of the designated CLAWR off-road frequencies for chat purposes is not permitted as this delays

others waiting to receive / obtain off road clearances. Should this be a requirement, the vehicle is to be stopped clear of the travelling portion of any ice road. Use the call-signs that have been assigned by Range Control. (e.g. “Falcon 5 (this is) Dodger 22”.) and ask them to change to another frequency for your private purposes. Remember that before recommencing travel or exiting the vehicle, you must return the radio to the designated off-road frequencies for your area;

6. Use of any other two-way communication devices / frequencies that will distract from the monitoring of designated off-road frequencies is prohibited; and,

7. Use of profanity on CLAWR network frequencies is strictly prohibited.

4. CALL-SIGN ASSIGNMENT

a. Only call-signs issued and approved by Range Control (through ECC) may be used on the

Range Control radio network. Requests for call-sign assignment should be made through the ECC, 780-815-6642.

5. RADIO TERMINOLOGY DIRECTIVE a. The following directive to all Range Control and CLAWR gate security personnel is

issued under the authority of Range Control and is effective upon receipt. b. To prevent misunderstanding on the radio with respect to off-road movement

requests, the following terminology is the ONLY form authorized for use. c. An approval for off-road travel will use the term “APPROVED”. A denial for off-

road travel will use the term “DENIED”. Should time be required to verify the location and target closure status, the term “STAND-BY” will be used.

i. Example 1:

“Sentry, Hornet 01”. “Hornet 01, Sentry, go ahead”. “Hornet 01 requesting to leave the high grade at Km 23 and proceed to 8 of 26 of 69 of 8 via the Caribou road”. “Hornet 01, Stand-by”. “Hornet 01, Sentry, Hornet 01 you are approved”. “Sentry, Hornet 01, copy approved”.

ii. Example 2:

“Sentry, Hornet 01”. “Hornet 01, Sentry, go ahead”. “Hornet 01 requesting to leave the high grade at Km 23 and proceed to 8 of 26 of 69 of 8 via the Caribou road”. “Hornet 01, Stand-by”. “Hornet 01, Sentry, Denied, target B-324 red circle is active until 1700hrs today and the Caribou road is closed to all traffic”. “Sentry, Hornet 01, copy denied”.

NOTES:

1. A response from the requesting individual acknowledging that the request has been approved or denied is mandatory.

2. It is imperative all personnel PAUSE for a second or two after depressing the mic switch before speaking to prevent cutting off the first part of the transmission.

3. In the event that an off-road travel request is denied due to a target closure, ECC staff shall request a phone # for that individual. ECC staff shall then advise an RPO of the incident and pass on all associated information. The RPO shall immediately initiate an investigation to determine why that individual was not aware of the target closure.

6. TROUBLE SHOOTING a. Should you experience difficulties communicating with Sentry or other users on the

radio network, consider the following to reestablish communications:

i. Ensure you have selected the correct frequency; ii. CLAWR Operations – Channel #1, 3 & 5 – Call-sign “Sentry”;

iii. Emergencies–Channel # 9–Call-sign–“Medic”or “Sentry”; iv. Ensure the volume is turned up; v. Check all radio connections;

vi. If using a magnetic mount, ensure it is on a frost-free area on the vehicle roof; and, vii. Ensure your antennae is free of frost.

b. If you still cannot establish communications follow the directives in the Range Control RADIO

COMMUNICATIONS and ACCESS COORDINATION POLICY. 7. REPEATER FAILURE a. In the unlikely event of a failure of a repeater facility personnel in the field may

experience difficulty reaching ECC. If communication with ECC cannot be established, personnel should attempt to use cell phone service to contact the ECC or anyone who can relay your request to ECC. If you cannot reach anyone proceed as per Radio Failure procedure below.

8. RADIO FAILURE a. If your radio ceases to function STOP your vehicle immediately. DO NOT

PROCEED. b. Attempt to re-establish contact with “Sentry” on the back-up frequency, e.g. if

operating on Ch 1, 3 or Ch 5, switch to another and attempt contact. If unsuccessful on these channels switch to Emergency Channel 9 and again attempt to contact ECC.

c. If still no contact check all connections to your radio and try again. e.g. power,

antenna and microphone. d. If radio contact still cannot be established use your cell phone in an attempt to contact

ECC or one of the Range Control access gates. (See next page for contact phone numbers).

e. If you have the opportunity, flag down any passerby and ask to use their radio or cell

phone to contact the ECC or an access gate.

f. Should all attempts to establish communication be unsuccessful attempt to return to high grade in tow behind another vehicle with a serviceable radio. If this is not possible proceed back to high grade with extreme caution via the most expeditious routing avoiding scheduled active Target Areas.

9. CONTACT NUMBERS Emergency Call Centre (780) 573-7321 (Emergencies) (780) 815-6642 (Admin) South Gate (780) 573-7205 Range Control Office (780) 573-7207 Burnt Gate (780) 639-4453 Pass Control Administrator (780) 573-7208 North Gate (780) 573-7294 - (** SEASONAL OPERATION ONLY**) West Gate (780) 207-5975 - (** SEASONAL OPERATION ONLY**) Range Control Safety & Coordination (Cold Lake) (780) 594-2554 ext 1-5 10. Complete Network Failure a. Should a Network failure be suspected or occur proceed as per the guidance listed

above.

DO NOT TRANSIT THROUGH AN ACTIVE MILITARY TARGET AREA. NOTE: In the event that an operating channel is rendered unusable due to a “hot mike” situation you should switch to the back-up channel and establish contact with ECC. 11. OFF ROAD OPS DURING PERIODS OF RADIO NETWORK FAILURE a. Range Control is the authority and controlling agency for ALL off road access

activity. During schedules outages of, or periods experiencing radio Network Failures, off-road access and operations may be authorized but only when no Military Targets are active for extended periods (24 hours or more).

b. All planned off-road activity during these periods only will be coordinated with Range Control Safety and Coordination Centre at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled work.

confirming intentions and flight times, and immediately following flight completion.

i. CLAWR ECC will place a ROZ depiction within CLAWR Tracking System (CTS) and advise all air assets via Channel 5 when the ROZ has been removed following flight completion.

NOTE:

1. UAVs intending to operate VFR outside of Military Class F Airspace require approval from

Transport Canada IAW ref b,c, and d. 2. Airspace requirements above and beyond what is described in para 4 above will require further

analysis by DND staff and if approved may require additional equipment / processes to be demonstrated in place before operations are supported.

3. At no time will UAV operations within the CLAWR exceed the limitations / regulations of DND or Transport Canada.

5. CIVILIAN UAV CAVEATS a. All civilian / commercial UAVs operating within the CLAWR must abide by

Transport Canada UAV minimum performance standards Transport Canada IAW ref A through C.

b. As mentioned above Civilian UAV operators must include their SFOC within the

UAV application. Should the UAV meet Transport Canada’s exemption requirements the UAV Operator shall include proof of the exemption in the application.

c. Civilian / Commercial UAVs are required to abide by 4 Wing Photo policy IAW ref

D and E.

d. Civilian / Commercial UAV operators can anticipate that access will not be granted to 4 Wing CYRs during 4 Wing Flight Ops. Access may be granted during periods of no military flight activity, predominantly during weekends and holidays.

e. UAV operators are reminded that the Cold Lake Low Flying Area includes the entire

Cold Lake Military Terminal Control Area (MTCA), extending north of the CYR 204, as far West as the Rockies, and as far East as Manitoba, see Figure 1 below.

f. Within the MTCA and North of the CYR 204, Military Aircraft regularly fly below

500’ AGL at speeds greater than 400kts. In the interest of flight safety, UAV operators are asked to provide a description all UAV operations within the Cold Lake Low Flying Area to CRC providing as much advance notice as possible. CRC will then advise 4 Wing Ops of the UAV activities.

TALL RIG & CRANE REQUESTS

1. PURPOSE a. The purpose of this policy is to specify the requirement to be followed to ensure the

safe and effective coordination and control of Rigs and Cranes that are over 100 feet in height above ground level (AGL) that are utilized on the CLAWR in support commercial oil & gas activities. A key element of this policy, and prime responsibility of the Range Control Safety & Coordination Centre, is to ensure that commercial activities are de-conflicted with military operations on the CLAWR.

2. CONDITIONS a. Temporary structures in excess of 100 feet AGL in height may to be erected on the

CLAWR with prior coordination through Range Control, with 4 Wing Cold Lake. Once an Annex A request is received, it will be forwarded to the Wing Operations Officer (W Ops O) through the Range Activities Officer (RAO) for his approval. Additionally, all temporary structures (Tall Rigs / Cranes) above this height will be equipped with a white light beacon at the top.

NOTES:

4. During 4 Wings’ “Maple Flag” exercise, no infrastructure will be permitted to exceed 100’ in height for the duration of the exercise. 5. Special scenarios requiring additional altitude considerations will be discussed with RCSCC for forwarding to DND. 3. COORDINATION a. As 4 Wing requires 3 business days to process specialized requests, the following

procedures shall be followed by oil and gas lessees when submitting a request to erect a Tall Rig/Crane on the CLAWR:

i. Drilling / Construction / Safety Coordinator shall:

a) Submit Tall Rig/Crane request form (Part II – Annex F) within 7 days of

stand up date;

b) Update RCSCC with any changes to the estimated stand up date within the last 3 days;

c) Post a signed 4 Wing Aircrew Information File notice at location of

Rig/Crane; and,

d) Advise Range Control via email at crc@rangesafety.ca prior to Rig / Crane being erected and again once the infrastructure has been taken down.

b. CLAWR Range Control will ensure that all oil and gas land lessees are made aware of this protocol and will publish approved requests for high infrastructure by way of an Aircrew Information File (AIF) and post same on the Range Control website at http://www.rangesafety.ca/clawr.html as they are received.

NOTE:

Tall Rigs / Cranes cannot be erected without a signed copy of the AIF request form on location and final confirmation/coordination with Range Control located at 4 Wing.
